Chapter 1026

The statue had its hands clasped behind its back and wore a long robe; if one hadn't approached, it would have been impossible to notice at all. Moreover, the ring was the same color as the human sculpture, making it hard to detect — yet Qin Yu had actually discovered it.

So Qin Yu reached out and took the ring.

And just after this ring was taken by Qin Yu, the voice of Immortal Emperor Ni Yang rang out once more: "Lucky juniors, you've taken all the treasures of the Treasure Pavilion, so it's time to leave. The restrictions of the Treasure Pavilion will activate immediately, and you'll be teleported straight out!"

"What? We haven't even obtained the one-of-a-kind treasure yet!"

True Person Yan Xu said anxiously.

Unfortunately, Immortal Emperor Ni Yang would not respond at all.

The void around everyone shifted, and Fang Yu and the others were transported outside.

"Qin Yu, your luck really is quite something."

Fang Yu looked at how Qin Yu had actually found that black ring, clicking his tongue in wonder.

That black ring was called the Ring of Black Flame Lord, forged by the Black Flame Lord, a close friend of Immortal Emperor Ni Yang. It was an upper-grade immortal artifact of this world, possessing two supreme abilities. The first was the Heavenly Flame Domain contained within it — once activated, it could summon Heavenly Flames capable of burning even Celestial Immortals to death.

Besides this, the Ring of Black Flame Lord also contained a Gravity Domain; by channeling power into it, a field of gravity could be generated around the user, and the higher one's cultivation, the greater the gravity.

If the Black Flame Lord himself deployed the Gravity Domain, he could even cause Mysterious Immortals of the fourth or fifth level within the domain's range to collapse outright from the terrifying gravity.

Such were the marvels of the upper-grade immortal artifact, the Ring of Black Flame Lord — one was the Heavenly Flame Domain, the other the Gravity Domain.

For a world so barren in divine abilities, a single ring granting a cultivator two great divine powers was already quite remarkable.

In addition, the Ring of Black Flame Lord also contained a map leading to Ni Yang Realm, equivalent to three Sky-Breaking Maps combined.

So from this perspective, the upper-grade immortal artifact, the Ring of Black Flame Lord, was the most precious treasure within the Nine Swords Immortal Mansion.

Fang Yu, when he entered that two-story building, had actually noticed the Ring of Black Flame Lord right away, but he did not take it, because it held little significance for him.

He wanted to see which of these people could obtain the Ring of Black Flame Lord.

In the end, the result proved it was Qin Yu.

Qin Yu's luck truly was quite something.

Meteor Tear, Stellar Transformations, and now this Ring of Black Flame Lord.

On the path of cultivation, he was a gacha god.

"Let's go, Qin Yu. I've heard that when you train alongside someone with good luck, your own luck improves too."

Seeing that everyone had already exited the Nine Swords Immortal Mansion, Fang Yu said to Qin Yu.

"Immortal, where are we headed now?"

Qin Yu was somewhat curious.

"Of course we're going to Ni Yang Realm."

With a sweep of his wide sleeve, Fang Yu directly brought Qin Yu and Jiang Lier to Ni Yang Realm.

This so-called Ni Yang Realm was still on the Hidden Dragon Continent, in a place called the Abyss of Death.

This was an extremely dangerous place for ordinary people, but for Fang Yu, who had mastered the Laws of Space, it posed little problem.

After the space shifted, Fang Yu and the others arrived before a vast, empty land. On this boundless expanse stood only three towering stone pillars, each carved with a single character: "Ni," "Yang," and "Jing"!

And when the three Sky-Breaking Maps in Fang Yu's hand appeared, the three lonely stone pillars on the boundless land suddenly trembled violently. With the three tall pillars as the center, waves of sonic force radiated out in all directions, erupting with tremendously destructive power.

The earth churned, the air quaked, flames burst from beneath the ground, and chilling cold air swept in from all directions.

In an instant, the once peaceful land had transformed into a hellish world.

Everywhere was the Blue Boar Heavenly Flame and the Xuanjin Cold Air, yet whether it was Fang Yu, Qin Yu, or Jiang Lier, all remained unharmed — because they were the fated ones.

As for the several fated ones of the Nine Swords Immortal Mansion, such as Qing Long, Yan Mo, and True Person Yan Xu — they were only fated ones of the Nine Swords Immortal Mansion, not of Ni Yang Realm, so they did not have the qualification to reach this Ni Yang Realm.

This was not necessarily a bad thing.

After all, having reached Ni Yang Realm, one might just drop dead on the spot.

And now, only three people had come to this Ni Yang Realm.

The void here shifted once more, and in the end, Fang Yu and the others arrived in a world like a paradise beyond this world.

Here, streams babbled, fallen leaves danced in the air, small bridges arched over flowing water, the sky was azure, drifting clouds were as soft as silk, and the spring water was so clear one could see the patterns on the pebbles below.

This world was exceedingly beautiful, like a world within a painting.

In this vast world, there were now only Fang Yu, Qin Yu, and Jiang Lier.

"I am Immortal Emperor Ni Yang. Welcome, all of you, to Ni Yang Realm."

A faint, indifferent voice rang out through this endless heaven and earth.

"I suppose those who have entered Ni Yang Realm include people from the Immortal Realm, the Demon Realm, and perhaps even the Monster Realm, heh heh. Who would have thought that the lair of a dying man like me could attract so many visitors — truly something to be proud of!"

The voice of Immortal Emperor Ni Yang rang out.

However, his recorded message did not match the current situation.

There were no people from the Immortal Realm here, nor any from the Demon Realm, and certainly none from the Monster Realm — there were only two from the Mortal Realm and one from the Divine Realm.

"Since you've entered, you've surely endured much hardship. As the master of Ni Yang Realm, I, Immortal Emperor Ni Yang, naturally must give you many gifts. Go find the Treasure-Scattering Rock. There are quite a few treasures there — you may take as many as you wish. This is my welcome gift to you. The Treasure-Scattering Rock has two levels in total; the upper level has over a dozen top-grade immortal artifacts, and even a full set of top-grade immortal artifact battle armor!"

Immortal Emperor Ni Yang chuckled lightly.

Qin Yu and Jiang Lier exchanged a glance, feeling that they didn't seem to have suffered any hardship, and wondering what this Immortal Emperor Ni Yang was talking about.

But top-grade immortal artifacts! They did sound rather tempting.

"The lower level of the Treasure-Scattering Rock also has over a hundred upper-grade immortal artifacts, mostly offensive types, and several sets of defensive battle armor as well."

Immortal Emperor Ni Yang seemed to be an NPC, still introducing the situation of the Treasure-Scattering Rock.

"Alright, set off now — go find the treasures on the Treasure-Scattering Rock."

The voice of Immortal Emperor Ni Yang finally came to an end.

"Immortal, after you."

Qin Yu was very polite, inviting this immortal, Fang Yu, to seek the treasures first.

"Let's go."

With each step, Fang Yu arrived before a massive boulder, atop which rested another rock nearly ten meters long.

On the uppermost rock were placed over a dozen "top-grade immortal artifacts" of this world, while on the rock below were placed over a hundred "upper-grade immortal artifacts"—swords, spears, blades, staves, clubs, battle armor, and so on, everything imaginable; these were the upper-grade immortal artifacts of this world.

Besides this, beside the Treasure-Scattering Rock stood a jet-black stone sculpture, its appearance identical to the sculpture at the Nine Swords Immortal Mansion.

"Top-grade immortal artifacts, upper-grade immortal artifacts."

Fang Yu's gaze swept over the "top-grade immortal artifacts" and "upper-grade immortal artifacts" atop the Treasure-Scattering Rock, and he still felt some regret.

The names are the same, but the essence is different. If the top-grade immortal artifacts here were top-grade immortal artifacts of the Eternal Life Realm, then after Fang Yu brought them back, even the Supreme Elder of the Grand Unity Sect, Taihuang Tian—who had cultivated to the Longevity Ten-Layer True Immortal Realm—would have to kneel before him and bitterly repent.

In the Eternal Life Realm, to refine a mid-grade immortal artifact one needs the Laws of a Jin Xian, and not just one Jin Xian's Laws—several Golden Immortals must be blood-sacrificed to refine a single mid-grade immortal artifact. As for upper-grade immortal artifacts, they require the Laws of an Ancestor Immortal, and top-grade or supreme-grade immortal artifacts above that would surely require the Laws of a supreme existence above the Ancestor Immortal.

And any random Jin Xian is a colossal existence who has stepped into the multiverse, able to blast apart a multiverse world with a single slap—terrifyingly powerful beyond imagination.

Therefore, these upper-grade immortal artifacts are not those upper-grade immortal artifacts, and these top-grade immortal artifacts are not those supreme-grade immortal artifacts.

Only the names are the same; the might is absolutely not the same. But after bringing them back, they can still be used.

The top-grade immortal artifacts of this realm, placed in the Eternal Life Realm, naturally are not supreme-grade immortal artifacts, but they can also be used as materials for refining Dao artifacts.

Comparable to Dao artifacts, they will still do.

Fang Yu directly collected several top-grade immortal artifacts and over a hundred upper-grade immortal artifacts into his Eight Divisions Pagoda. The Eight Divisions Pagoda stirred slightly, and all the upper-grade and top-grade immortal artifacts grew dragon scales, then directly decomposed, becoming materials for the mid-grade Dao artifact Eight Divisions Pagoda.

As materials, they will also do.

Over a hundred "immortal artifacts" were collected, and even the Treasure-Scattering Rock itself was dragonized. This is a supreme divine ability possessed by the Eight Divisions Pagoda—Transforming All Things into Dragons—displaying terrifying might in this realm.

Meanwhile, Qin Yu, still picking up leftovers, obtained a white jade ring from the hand of the statue beside the Treasure-Scattering Rock.

This ring is called the White Mystic Lord's Ring. Like the Black Flame Lord's Ring, it was a gift given to Immortal Emperor Ni Yang. The original maker of the ring was called White Mystic Lord, so his ring is called the White Mystic Lord's Ring.

This ring is an upper-grade immortal artifact, possessing the Jade Mist Domain and the Gravity Domain. Combined with the Heavenly Fire Domain and Gravity Domain of the Black Flame Lord's Ring, there will be three domains: the Heavenly Fire Domain, the Jade Mist Domain, and the Dual Gravity Domain.

Besides this, the two upper-grade immortal artifact rings can be synthesized into a single top-grade immortal artifact ring—the Flame Mystic Ring.

"There's such a thing?"

Qin Yu was utterly shocked.

He watched as the two rings in his hand met and began to merge, transforming from two upper-grade immortal artifact rings into a single top-grade immortal artifact ring. Once activated, the ring could unleash three domains. He felt his luck was truly extraordinary.
